THS OREGON SUNDAY J2VTMAU PORTLAND, CUIIDAY I'OnillNG. OCTOrR 2. 1EC3. W O M Mr. Breyman'o Address . -At Opening of Woman's Club. - ".Following Is th sddres of Mr. A. Jf. Breyman. delivered at the opening of the Woman's club, Friday, October 11: ' .; '-Between the opcalog and the closing of our club; our stata and citr. Indeed the whole' northwest and even Into Call- f ornla and Washington, . baa - passed . through the moat hlatorlo period of, It ' existence. , ' , The Lew la and Clark exposition haa coma and abided and la passing away. For over four months It was tha bright est partlouiar star which draw towards it the art . and bistosy, the commerce and travel of the world, and In depart- ; - Ing left behind It a nebula whoaa misty trail anvelopea us In an infinity of bene ', fit and opportunity. . . - Tha benefit has coma through the rontaot wa have bad with tha outalde " world. Wi have seen tha Ufa and cue tome, the habits and. warea of other people; tha music, art and beauty of the f' world haa been laid at our feet and our . opportunity la now upon ua to lift these things up and make their lessons the , lode star by which to ateer our future -1 . course. '- .: ' 1 ' . . What tha fair has- brought to every vocation of life. It haa brought into our club world, and In tha Woman's club ". . It should take Its center from which It ..' should, and will, If wa.so desire, radiate ; j pot only - throughout tha city but the entire-state. , '., . Our first . lesson - should be ' tha ," - strengthening of ourselves. . Every ln : dividual or stste exhibitor competed for nrst prise. They' did tha best they could, and an Intense loyalty to the homing place was a distinguishing char acteristic of every atata or nation. Wa aaw no ehaflng between state ex , ; Mbltors; jealousies no doubt existed, ' heartburnings and a sense of Injustice - often times, but the stata Itself was exalted., Tha individuals vied with each "' other to -make their stata tha very beat. ' and this la an object leason for ua of V tha Woman's club. Let - ua build up, . strengthen and sustain ' our own club. Let each department strive for the , grand prise In- membership, ability and amount of good work accomplished, but ; nevef let It be at the expense of our , club's strength; and what la aald of the : departments la equally true ft tha indl ' vlduala. ' - Perslstsnt endeavor la another lesson. ' Through tha heat of tha summer and the rains of autumn there was no lag . glng of Interest This gives us ona of the most potent examples, and wa are ' ; sorry to admit ona of those most needed in our club work. Tha vigorous start Ing of our departments and then later dropping off. tha entire absence or sense of -responsibility when a depart ment la Joined, is ona of tha most dtsas '. troua features of our club life. A well attended department of three members " Is more to be desired than a department of to members with but bait in attend' : ance. . 1 - ' , - The social side of tha fair as ex hibited by tha various state hostesses -, Is a lesson not to be overlooked, for 'while tha elub that exalts Its social . life above everything else grows light headed and dlssy. the ona that cannot take itself from the mightier affairs of Ufa stows topheavy and unbalances. - Our social life la the elub Is, however. ,, more than a balance wheel; It is the w silken web that blnda and solidifies our , .every, intereet. making harmonious whole out of many parts. It lifts from soma weary hearts a burden, cheers . the despondent, brings into closer touoh ... our members and thus lessons "men's Inhumanity to men." which exists In women's clubs quite as often as in . Bobby Burns' "Countless Thousands." Therefore our social life Is neither w less or extravagant, and in every way V should be - encouraged In - moderation. : and tha fraternal spirit manifest by the visiting club women to. the fair ahould " stimulate our club to reach out ana extend areatsr courtesies to others, es peclally to those who have been left i unon our shore as the tide ebbed and will abide with us aa residents of Ore- Mon. They are many and each mem ' ber should make It a part of her club , ' duty to look np strangers Id ber midst ' and bring them loto our fold, thereby doing a kindly act and strengthening .... ourselves. . During ths summer wa gave two handsome receptions, ona In the rooms - of ths Commercial club to tha National Woman's Suffrage convention- and one In tha Oregon building to the hosts ' and hostesses of tha other atata build- - Ing. Both were largely attended and - we have good reason to believe bore . fruit many fold. In good will and kindly , feeling and In' tha upbuilding of the : club. The friends we have made wui linear In our memory, the happy, Joy oua tiroes, the wonder of It all will - be long In passing and It lessons, many of them, will endur. but standing on , tha threshold of our club year is- a visitor left behind who tarries with us only as wa choose to hold him; of "op portunity" that eloquent statesman. John J. Ingalla, never aald a mors bril liant thins: "Master , of human destinies ' am X. Fame, - love and fortune .on my foot--atepa wait. Deserts and seas remote, .and passing by hovel -and mart1 and palace, soon or lata I knook -unbidden once at every gate. If sleeping wake. . lffeaettng rise, before I turn away. It - la tha hour of fata, and they who xol ' low .mo reach every mortal's desire and conquer every foa save death: but those who doubt or hesitate are condemned to failure, penury and woe. Seek ma ' In vain and uselessly implore, X answer i not and return no more." Opportunity is knocking today at the door of the woman a ciuo... we nave ' gone through a process of education few here been favored with. Will we grasp what la thus given us. and make the moat of ltT Avenues of -work and usefulness have opened to our vlseons never dreamed of before. An art exhibit has nrougoi injo .our ommunity an atmosphere of refine ment and beauty wa longed for bat knew not of. Tha beauty of our fair haa presented civic Improvement in the most practical manner, and we can no . longer be callous to our dirty streets and. Ill-kept yards, - Tha educational exhibits have shown us tha perfections snd imperfections of ear own and other school work.- and tne r magnitude of the fair,. front Its System if turnstiles to tha most Intricately poised Instrument la the Government building, has taught as what tha mind ' of man Is capable of: and the countless flow of young men and women who have coma from our rural districts an. looked with yearning upon tha works rf others has Suggested aa opportunity for the elub to exert Itself for the help , of others and tha bene nt of the world. In entertaining our friends this sum- mar wa have realised what It would have been to have had a clubhouse of our awn. With this knowledge should ' corns the desire to embrace the oppor tunity of securing property for this purpose before It goes beyond our reach. .We have an opportunity In the strangers that tha fair has brought hers to enlarge our membership as never before; en te lesson . tat. .X by tL i i ... 1..4 fair E N'S C Edited by MRS.

Opportunity ' also stands waiting In our Blsla work) Professor Luella Car eon in a most able address at the atata convention held last, week took for ber toplo "Th New : Opportunity for Woman," and eloquently portrayed some of these possibilities I have-feebly tried to outline.

The Woman's club of Port land was honored by tha highest offics In the state, and ' club pride - should prompt a helpful Interest In the work. - The "state convention voted to ssk each elub of the stata to discuss the matter' of woman's suffrage, as It now a vital question in tha state, and I recommend that a part of ona meeting In the near future be set apart for an amicable discussion of the question.

As the Lewis and Clark exposition be gan to pas Into history one of the earliest chapters to appear was undsr the caption "Distinguished Visitors at the Fair." It then recounted the hoots of noted men of the United. State who had been wined, dined and toasted at publlo expense, principally because they took their dally food from the public crib, or proclaimed the morals of tha meek and , lowly Masterfrom ptflatlal pulpits. One single woman was aameo, and that waa because her grandfather waa a first cousin of Captain Lewis. Not a word for tha wives of the many governors, who dsy after day stood the receiving hostesses - amidst ' surging crowds of curious man and women, gra ciously shaking hands and smiling-and gathering laurels for their states while their husbands eat around aumptuoua boards doing the "distinguishing act no mention of Susan B.

But the list grows too long to name the many distinguished womsn who have vlsltsd the fair and ahould have a place among distinguished visitors, for there were scores of women, "known to the world, through their' literary efforts. their success in trade, mining and busi ness socompllshments, for' their wealth and high social position, for thslr philanthropy and eloquence and for al most everything save and except-empty uue ana political preferment.'

The new rooms are large and the seating accommodation is excellent, a fact that will be appreci ated by the, women who, were of tea crowded in the meetings last year. - Miss Lillian Tingle of the domestic science school read aa Interesting paper on "The Importance of Developing and Utilising tha Child's Domestic In stincts." She advanced the Idea that there Is a time in every child's life when the child naturally turns to some form of domestic activity, and tha wise mother is the one who recognises that period and guides' the instinct into safe and proper channels. Otherwise the girl Is apt to become Interested solely la Intellectual or aoclal matters, , she learns to despise the homely duties ss menial and the useful womanly side of her natur Is dwarfed. "A boy or girl who In the home has learned that work Is not only a right but a dutv." said Miss Tlnals. "and that full nse of one's beat faculties 1 health ana nappines xor man ana woman; k. wArlr h MmnmA m vmnathw for. and an understanding of other workers, and know how to respect the right of those around him. will surely make a valuable dtisen.
